Higento — the workspace assistant

Higento is the conversational assistant that builds and manages your Higent workspace from chat. Instead of clicking through editors, you describe what you want — "create an agent that drafts Outlook replies" — and Higento calls the right functions to create folders, agents, chatbots, tools, tables, workflows, integrations, and schedules on your behalf.

Higento always works inside one organization and, when opened from a folder, inside that folder scope (the folder plus its subfolders). It never touches resources outside the scope it was opened in.

How it works​

  1. You describe a goal in natural language.
  2. Higento inspects the workspace (usually folder-list first) to find the ids it needs.
  3. Higento calls functions — one focused tool per step — to create or change objects.
  4. You confirm sensitive steps (such as deploying a new agent/tool version) in the chat.

Every function follows the same contract: a structured input (the arguments Higento passes) and a structured output (what comes back, always including success and a human-readable message).

What's documented here​

Functions​

The complete reference of everything Higento can do, grouped by the object it acts on (workspace, agents, chatbots, tools, tables, workflows, integrations, schedules). Each object page lists its functions with a standardized input and output interface.

Use Case Examples​

Realistic, prompt-driven scenarios — the kind of request you'd actually type — grouped by theme. Each example shows a sensible end-to-end task and the functions Higento chains together to accomplish it.

Core concepts​

ConceptMeaning
ObjectA thing Higento manages: folder, agent, chatbot, tool, table, workflow, integration, schedule.
Function (tool)A single capability, named object-verb (e.g. agent-create, table-read-rows).
Folder scopeWhen Higento is opened inside a folder, it only sees that folder and its subfolders.
Id prefixesObjects are addressed by id: folders dir_…, agents/chatbots agt_…, tools tool_…, tables t_…, workflows wrk_…, knowledge bases kb_….
Draft & deployEdits to agents, chatbots, and tools create a new draft version; you confirm deploy in chat before it goes live.

Higento stores chatbots as agents of type Chatbot. The chatbotId returned by chatbot functions is the same value as the agentId (agt_…).
